The final season of Intervention opened on Thursday night with a typically gripping and difficult tale straight out of the West Side of Chicago.
“Jessica is smart as tack with a lust for life. Unfortunately, it’s the life of a heroin addict, living in an abandoned building, being shot up by a boyfriend, that she is committed to. Having spent her youth yearning for an absent, alcoholic father, Jessica followed the footprint of addiction left to her by her father, and now her own children are at risk of loosing their mother.”
You can only catch glimpses in this preview, but Chicago gets something of a close-up in this episode. Future airings are guaranteed, but not yet scheduled.

Intervention has been serious, important and emotionally wrenching TV – and in some ways it’s even been journalism. I’m sorry to hear that this is the show’s last season, and I encourage everyone who hasn’t seen it to do so.
